By Isiah Holmes, Wisconsin Examiner
“In Whitefish Bay, the mother of a local high school student has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging that her child was discriminated against by school district staff. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, accuses Whitefish Bay School District administrators of taking unfair and racially biased disciplinary actions against the African American teen — identified as “K.K” in the filing. The suit alleges that after a group of white students had taken to bullying the teen, they accused K.K. of “a highly problematic and deeply damaging accusation,” according to a press release by Wisconsin Education Law and Policy Hub. A suspension, encounter with the Whitefish Bay Police Department and tarnished disciplinary record followed for the freshman football player, according to the lawsuit.”
